The Amende Honorable.

Casual Listener" does the GLOBE
full justice, in a recent issue of the
Pioneer Press, and frankly acknowl-
edges his error in charging that articles
were printed in this paper that were
clipped from other papers-nO credit
being given. Casual Listener" was
very indignant over the idea that such
practices should prevail, and protested.
as representative of legitimate jour-
naliSm. How he could have made such
a break with his eyes open is a mystery,
but the GLOBE accepts his apology in
the same feeling of franllneSS and can
dor with which it seems to have been
rendered. The gentleman takes eXcep-
lions to the allegation that he made the
false statement wilfully and with mali
cious intent, and asks that this charge laid
against him be withdrawn, in justice to
his honor. The GLOBE takes pleasure
in doing so, as there is every reason to
believe the error on his part was unin-
territorial and an oversight. The Lis
tener, however. adds little to his reputa-
ton as a representative of legitimate
journalism by giving expression to the
opinion that the credits, as printed in
the articles, were intended to deceive
the reading public. This is statement
for which there is no foundation or ex-
cuSe. But the GLOBE can readily for
give the gentleman without having him
go to the trouble of apoiogizing again.
1t is natural for those on sinking ship
to be jealous of their staunch and fast
sailing rivals, and an exhibition of
spleen is expected in the natural order
of things.

KEEP 1T Up.

The state dairy commissioners are do
ing good work. They have not only
given very good reason for their Off
cial existence, but they have, in the
prosecution of offending milk dealers,
demonstrated that there is not single
state board that renders more effective
public service. In no way can disease
be more readily spread than by the sale
of impure or watery milk. No other
enc article of food is more generally
consumed by rich and poor alike. In
some families it is a staple as essential
as bread itself.
1t is therefore of vital importance to
the health of the community that milk
dealers be compelled, if they lack the
inclination, to sell perfectly pure milk.
Excellent results have been already ac-
cOmpliShed through the vigilance of the
dairy commissioners, and the example
has been set which will have whole
some effect upon other dealers whose
consciences might be disposed to regard
the adulteration of their wares as very
venial offense indeed.
1t is matter in which no guilty man
should be allowed to escape, and we are
very sure the dairy commissioners don't
intend to allow any to get away if they
know it. They have been doing very
good work indeed. We hope they will
keep it up and continue to deserve the
gratitude of the public.

MORE READY moNEY.

There is more foundation than mere
hope for the assertions made in yeSter-
days GLOBE by several prominent real
estate dealers, that increased activity in
the real estate market is extremely
probable from now On. Prices have
been maintained in ST. Paul with firm
ness that has shown no signs of Waver-
ing, and in many eases have advanced,
even though the volume of business has
not been great of late.
But there has been indications of an
awakening which will justify confident
predictions regarding the Old-time live
illness in the near future. Money has
been getting easier and is again seeking
avenues of investment. An expansion
has taken place in the metallic currency
to the extent of 45,000,000 during the
past four months, and the Stringency
which at one time threatened to be
severe has accordingly disappeared.
With large amount of surplus money
thus waiting for employment, it would
be strange indeed if real estate, the
favorite mode of investment with con-
sentative capitalists, did not early feel
the influence of increased confidence,
means and expenditure.
st. Paul real estate has always been,
both to local and foreign capitalists,
highly in favor for investment pur-
poses, as distinguished from mere
speculation, and we expect to see the
predictions of the dealers regarding a
renewal of the phenomenal activity
which prevailed a short time since
verified very speedily.

Fifth district has been notably re-
duced by these appointments and
that Judge SrEARNs' candidacy
has been notably strengthened. The
meaning of all this is a black eye for
Mr.. MERRIAM. COLLINS gets the SUI
preme judgeShip, SEARLE the district
judgeship. STEARNs goes to congress;
and in consideration for all this, Gov.
McGILL is to get the support of the
Fifth district in the next Republican
state convention. Such is the reading
between the lines of the give-away edi-
tOrial in yesterdays Pioneer Press.
So far as the immediate results of this
political dickering are concerned, it
doesn't make a particle of difference to
the GLOBE whether MCGILL or MER-
RAM gets the support of the Fifth district
for the gubernatorial nomination, or
whether STEARNs or GILMAN wears
KNUTE NELSON'S congressional shoes.
But it is notifying spectacle in the
eyes of all good citizens to see the jul
dietary degraded into foot ball for the
amusement of the political bosses and
traded around as if judgeship
were of no more value than jackknife.
While as an abstract proposition it
would be right. still, in the existing
condition of affairs in this country, it
would be expecting too much to ask
that judicial appointments should be
purely non-partisan. But there should
at least be such a show of decency
about it that partisan organs would not
have room to boast that these appoint
mentS have been made as part of a
slate-fixing scheme.

He Didn't Want Him.
Boston Globe.


A sun-burned; hollow-eyed individual
walked into the taxidermist's store on
Sudbury street yesterday morning, car
rying under his arm little brown, grim
ning-faced monkey.
Addressing the young man in the
outer Office, he said:
''That monkey is for sale, and don't
you forget it,"
''What has happened to make you go
back on the monkey" asked the man at
the desk as he leaned back in his chair
and glanced at the man with the mon
key;
the monkey; ''only this. You see, my
wife was suddenly called away from
home last Saturday night, and l had to
dish out my own beans Sunday morn
ing. l noticed that the monkey eyed
me pretty closely, but only thought
that the intelligent beast noticed that |
didn't go at it as if / was used to it.
Well, was called to the door, and when
| got back the kitchen was a wreck. I'd
planned to take breakfast there rather
than in the dining-roOm. The butter
had been spotted all over the window,
the dishes were OH the floor, and that
internal monkey was taking the beans
out of the pot and throwing them over
everything. But that wasn't the worst
of it. When l went in the little cuss
threw bottle at my head and then fol
lowed it up by everything he could lay
his paws on"
$50 he's for sale now?" observed the
young man outside the rail. eyes;

Il guess not, but when you've got a
secondhand cyclone I'll talk with YOU"

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

sit was a quiet funeral" The ex-
pected trouble over the burying of the
anarchists didn't occur. Their bodies
were committed to the tomb yesterday
in as orderly manner as possible. And
it was all because the law has demon
strated its power so tremendously that
the turbulent elements have no further
disposition to test its capacity. They
have learned that, while this is land
of liberty, it is also land of law. There
will be no more anarchiStic outbreaks
in this country for long time to come.

& That is a sad story young BICKEL
tells of his downfall and the reasons that
led to it. And yet it is an old story. A
young man on small salary, his imag-
mary wants are more than his income,
he sees other young enliving high and
fast, he wants to do the same thing and
is dissatisfied because he can't, his en-
plOyers leave a large sum of money
where he can take it without being de-
tected in the theft, visions of the imag-
mary happiness and pleasure that can
be purchased with that package of bank
bills float through his mind, the tempta-
ton is irresistible, the crime is done, and
a promising young life is ruined forever.
-
1t is an old, sad story, this of young
BICKEL, the Duluth bank robber. But
it is what has happened before, and will
happen again if the same conditions are
permitted to exist. Here was a young
man who had the advantages of good
home training. The good old mother in
her far-away Vermont home had done
her duty by her boy. 1t was no fault of
hers that she is heart-broken to-day
over his disgrace. She had given him a
religious education and had sent him
out into the world to earn a living, a
Bible and mothers prayers being the
only patrimony she had to give him.
Whose fault is it, then, that the boy fell
so soon?
1t was partly due to the inherent
weakness of the boys nature, but more
largely so to the false ideas of life that
he found prevailing in the world after
he got out into it. There are too many
young men being impressed with the
idea that money is the only badge of re-
spectability in this world, and the only
source of true pleasure. They complain.
just as young BlcKEL did, that their
salaries are too small for them to live.
They are too small to live in the style
that so many pampered sons of fortune
are living in these days, and yet those
very salaries would have been regarded

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The follow
Ing is published here to-day: "When
Gen. W. S. Hancock died, nearly two
years ago, among the several movements
generously put on foot by his friends
and admirers for the benefit of his most
eStimable widow, was one in which Mr..
COrcOran and other wealthy gentlemen
of this city were concerned, cOntemplat-
ing the purchase of a residence for her
at the national capital. Indeed, Mrs.
Hancock was invited to come to Wash
ingtOn in order that she might inspect
and make any suggestions as to her fu-
ture home. Upon her arrival she was
driven to the brown stone row then
being constructed on r street,
near Twenty-second street north
west, and shown the corner
building, with which, of course,
she expressed herself as highly de-
lighted. This house, it was understood,
would be purchased for her, and the
antique furniture belonging to her
mothers Mrs. Russell's) elegant home
at LOngwOOd, near ST. Louis, many
years ago, was shipped to this city and
stored, awaiting the final action of the
donors. Since that time nothing
further has been heard of the matter.
Mrs. Hancock has. Of course, refrained
with great delicacy from mentioning
the subject, even to her most intimate
friends, but as the latter observe her
every movement with much interest,
1t has been impossible for the facts to
escape them"

employers have too much faith In

strength to the forming character, and
not weakening it by placing tempta-
